    Wish i could have the same skill and confidence as you. I’ve never clean my PS3 since 2006, nor my Nintendo 64 that i bought since release.

      Watch a couple more tutorials till you are confident, I cleaned mine about a month ago and it's fairly easy if you take things slow

      The most important thing is to get the correct tools for the job once you’re confident enough to do so

    I purchased 2 of them recently to give to my parents to record tv (PlayTV) and as a backup to my old well used PS3 Slim.
    One was filthy and the other was almost brand new. The warranty sticker was untouched and there wasn't any dust on the fan. I couldn't believe it 😂

    Much appreciated on the video, taken mine apart although I didn't have any paste. Gave it a proper clean and managed to break the 3v battery when replacing it then re soldered the back pin. Great tutorial.

      @@techrestoread Would you be able to recommend a gentle rust remover for the metal heat dispersion plate that the thermal paste presses against. Used a fiber optic brush yet I'd like to completely treat it if possible.

    These are mad easy to take apart, only thing would the hex screws since I didn't have the proper tool to unscrew it with but otherwise piece of cake.
